Laura Nyro

Gene Vincent, the influential early rocker born in Norfolk, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. His band, The Blue Caps, were unfortunately overlooked by the Rock Hall -- until now.

Vincent's musical co-conspirators will be inducted into the hall during a ceremony in Cleveland on Saturday, April 14.

Over the years, the band featured guitarists Tommy Facenda, Johnny Meeks, Paul Peek, Willie Williams and Cliff Gallup, drummer Dickie Harrell and bassists Bobby Jones and Jack Neal.

Gallup, Neal and Peek are deceased. Of the surviving members, two live in Portsmouth: Facenda and Harrell.
